Steve Wilson is a 39-year-old that runs BP convenience stores in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. He regained his amateur status in 2005 and ended up winning the Mid-Amateur tournament in Milwaukee.
That got him an automatic invitation to that tournament going on in Augusta, Georgia this week. His 9-year-old son, Gavan, caddied for him in the Par-3 tournament Wednesday afternoon ((both pictured, thanks AJC)).
Thankfully, Wilson did not win the Par-3 so he still has a chance to win the blazer that goes with being the lowest scorer over the week.
Tim Clark aced himself out of that by taking the Par-3 crown.
The AJC's Jeff Schultz tracked down Wilson for a cool piece...
The funniest quote from Wilson when he talked to Schultz:
“I’m having a hard time getting comfortable here,” Wilson admitted Wednesday after a practice round. “I kind of feel like somebody’s ugly cousin at the ball.”
The Biloxi Sun Herald newspaper plans wall-to-wall coverage...
Wilson tees off at 11:29 with Ian Poulter and Tom Watson...
WDAM-TV has the story from Augusta.
FOSG Heather Cook tells the tale at the 3:00 mark...
